English abstract:
During the design of embedded real-time systems,
engineers have to consider the temporal behavior of
software running on a particular hardware platform.
Measurement-based timing analysis is a technique that
combines elements from static code analysis with execution
time measurements on real physical hardware. Because
performing exhaustive measurement is generally
not tractable, some kind of abstraction must be used to
deal with the combinatoric complexity of real software.
We propose an adaptable measurement-based analysis
approach that uses the novel flexible abstraction of a segment
graph to model control flow at varying levels of detail.
We also present preliminary experimental results produced
by a prototype implementation.
